Article Abstract
Background: Cisplatin (DDP) is one of the commonly used chemotherapeutic drugs for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients, and the resistance of tumor cells to cisplatin is main obstacle for NPC treatment. This study explored effect and possible mechanism of lncRNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 14 (SNHG14) on drug resistance of NPC cells to cisplatin.
Methods: Levels of SNHG14 and Notch2 in NPC tissues and cells were confirmed using RT-qPCR. Western blot detected Notch2 and ABCB1 expression in NPC cells. IC50 of cisplatin-treated NPC cells was tested utilizing 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT). Cell proliferation and apoptosis were evaluated utilizing colony formation experiment and flow cytometry, respectively. RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay was utilized to validate the target genes of U2AF2. Notch2 mRNA stability was tested using actinomycin D.
Results: SNHG14 level was increased in both cisplatin-resistant NPC tissues and cell lines. SNHG14 silencing in HNE1/DDP cells resulted in inhibition of chemoresistance to cisplatin. Conversely, upregulation of SNHG14 in HNE1 cells enhanced their resistance to cisplatin. SNHG14 exhibited an interaction with U2AF2, leading to stabilization of Notch2 mRNA. Finally, Notch2 was involved in SNHG14-mediated cisplatin resistance in NPC cells.
Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate SNHG14 plays a significant role in promoting chemoresistance of NPC cells to cisplatin through U2AF2/Notch2 axis. These results highlight potential therapeutic targets for NPC treatment.

The defining property of eukaryotic cells is the storage of heritable genetic material in a nuclear compartment. For eukaryotic cells to carry out the myriad biochemical processes necessary for their function, macromolecules must be efficiently exchanged between the nucleus and cytoplasm. The nuclear pore complex (NPC) - which is a massive assembly of ~35 different proteins present in multiple copies totalling ~1,000 protein subunits and architecturally conserved across eukaryotes - establishes a size-selective channel for regulated bidirectional transport of folded macromolecules and macromolecular assemblies across the nuclear envelope.

E3 ubiquitin ligases regulate the cellular proteome proteasome-dependent protein degradation; however, there exist limited studies outlining their non-canonical functions. RNA-binding ubiquitin ligases (RBULs) represent a subset of E3 ligases that harbour RNA-binding domains, making them uniquely positioned to function as both RNA-binding proteins and E3 ligases. Our initial microarray screen for E3 ligases from mouse cortical neural progenitor cells identified MEX3B, a known RNA-binding ubiquitin ligase, to be differentially expressed.

The Hippo pathway and its transcription co-activator YAP play a critical role in the regulation of cell proliferation, apoptosis and the control of organ size. In the past several years, YAP has been found to be expressed in various human cancers, however, its expression in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) remains unstudied. In this report, we found that YAP was overexpressed in human NPC tissues, and its expression was also significantly higher in five NPC cell lines when compared with the nasopharyngeal epithelial cell line NP69 (P < 0.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a common and debilitating injury, causing long-lasting neurological deficits. Current therapeies for recovery remain inadequate, undersing the urgent need for innovative interventions. In this study, a novel therapeutic approach is introduced that delivers extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neural progenitor cells (hiPSC-NPCs) with a gelatin-based injectable bioorthogonal hydrogel (BIOGEL).
